Miloš Vučević (Serbian Cyrillic: Милош Вучевић, pronounced [mǐloʃ ʋûːtʃeʋitɕ]; born 10 December 1974) is a Serbian lawyer and politician serving as Prime Minister of Serbia since May 2024. He previously served as deputy prime minister of Serbia and minister of defence 2022 to 2024. He is also the current president of the Serbian Progressive Party. He also served as mayor of Novi Sad from 2012 to 2022.
Vučević was born on 10 December 1974 in Novi Sad, SAP Vojvodina, SR Serbia, SFR Yugoslavia. He finished elementary school in Novi Sad and high school in Bački Petrovac. Vučević graduated from the Faculty of Law, University of Novi Sad, in 2002.
Vučević practised law in the family law office until 2012.
Vučević started his political career as a member of the far-right Serbian Radical Party (SRS) where his father was a high-ranking member. The SRS split later in 2008, and Vučević joined the breakaway Serbian Progressive Party (SNS) led by Tomislav Nikolić and Aleksandar Vučić. He is a close associate and confidant of Aleksandar Vučić and his brother Andrej.
Following the 2012 local elections, Vučević was elected mayor of Novi Sad by a new SNS-led majority, even though the SNS only won 16.44% of the popular vote. He was a member of the board of directors of the National Alliance for Local Economic Development (NALED) from 2015 to 2016. He was re-elected mayor following the 2016 and 2020 local elections.
In November 2021, he was elected vice-president of the party at the SNS party assembly.
On 23 October 2022, the president of the Serbian Progressive Party Aleksandar Vučić announced that his party would recommend Miloš Vučević as the next deputy prime minister and minister of defence of Serbia. He resigned as the Mayor of the City of Novi Sad on 24 October, and was succeeded by Milan Đurić two days later. Vučević was sworn in as deputy prime minister and minister of defence on 26 October as part of the third cabinet of Ana Brnabić. It has been speculated that Vučević will succeed Vučić as the president of the Serbian Progressive Party following his potential resignation.
In April 2023, following the Pentagon document leaks, documents alleging that Serbia had agreed to sell weapons to the Ukrainian Army to fight Russian forces were leaked. Vučević denied the allegations, calling them "a lie". He stated that Serbia had not sold and would not sell arms to either Ukraine or Russia, and suggested that someone was trying to "destabilize his country and involve it in a conflict it did not want to participate in". He also did not rule out the possibility that some Serbian weapons had ended up in the conflict zone by other means.
On 27 May 2023, Vučević was elected president of the SNS. He also confirmed that the SNS would join Vučić's announced People's Movement for the State (NPZD) in late June. Journalist Ana Lalić characterised the change as "cosmetic".
Vučević is in favour of Serbia's accession to the European Union, at the same time claiming that Serbia cannot become its member by "being humiliated and ashamed, because then it will never be a good member of the EU". On 24 March 2019, Vučević stated that the NATO bombing of Yugoslavia was a war crime. He opposes sanctioning Russia due to its 2022 invasion of Ukraine.
Vučević is against the recognition of independence of Kosovo, adding that Kosovo is the "state-forming DNA of our people and our country".
Vučević's father Zoran was a lawyer and high-ranking member of the SRS who served as president of the City Assembly of Novi Sad from 2004 to 2007. His father died in 2021. He is of paternal Montenegrin Serb descent and his family hails from the village of Bezjovo near Podgorica and belongs to the Kuči tribe. His paternal great-grandfather died fighting in World War I, while his paternal grandfather died fighting in World War II.
Vučević is married and has two sons.
